Practicing Movement Medicine with Ilaria..... with or without the silent disco headphones.....being skillfully led through music and her words to rely on the wisdom of one's dancing body.....it is me dancing and "the self" being danced.....going within and connecting with "the whole" to get to our "essence"..... and when nostalgia comes next....dance!

Feeling that I can be and show myself as I really am, in the dance of my movement. This is how I would summarize this journey of discovery through Movement Medicine, a journey during which, rigidity slowly melts into increasing fluidity, fear gives way to curiosity, shyness to boldness in occupying my space. And above all, wanting to control gives way to my authentic movement, beautiful or ungainly or out of rhythm, yet spontaneously arising from the body. Ilaria leads inside the dance with delicacy, energy, sunniness; she offers wonderful music that takes me on a journey to remote places and allows me to meet people, scents, spaces so near and so far. I recommend this experience to anyone who wishes to devote time to discovery, magic, fun, emotion; in a circle that is always characterized by total acceptance.

True Nature, the beginning of a journey of listening to myself in an explosion of emotions through music and dance, letting myself be carried freely by the movement of the body. Thank you Ilaria, that with your gift you listened to me, supported me and accompanied me to know how to listen to my heart with awareness.

My experience with Focusing: in order to contact my deepest and oldest parts, I need to feel at home, safe, comfortable, to feel that I can surrender and trust myself. A rare place to be found, precious to me. Focusing with Ilaria allows me this. Her confident, present, stable, warm voice and strong, clear presence guides me through relaxation and breathing, into territories of the soul that await my arrival, to be seen again, heard again, found again. It is an inner journey, a very intimate one, that allows me to tap into what lives inside, all along, to find awareness to my moment, answers to my questions and find invisible threads that give meaning to my being here on this earth, now.

True Nature has been a path that has accompanied me through a time of great hardship. Words can do little to get across how important a process it was for me: of awakening, of realizing where I was and what I needed. I gain the impetus in moving differently and once again in the world, in touch with me. I gained the vision of what was happening to me in the experience of walking along my path in the unfolding of the weeks with Ilaria. She was the focal stone of the whole: able to see me, to be there, to support me, to guide me toward my authentic movement. It allowed me to see the lighthouse within me again.

Movement Medicine has increased the trust in my feeling sense, in my instinct, intuition and in my 'wild woman'. I now know that I can dance around some of my anxieties, worries, questions and that my dance will bring new understandings. I am very interested in meditation as a transformative practice and meditation in movement is the perfect combination I was looking for to accompany my feeling sense. Furthermore, free and spontaneous dance is also very playful and fun. I consider it a wonderful experience within the reach of anyone who wants to get involved. In particular, the cycle of individual meetings with Ilaria unblocked fears and helped me overcome insecurities rooted in my individual history. She helped to release the 'passionate' dimension from within. I felt a clear positive difference between the beginning and the end of the course.

The Focusing sessions allow me to focus my attention on an episode that has generated strong emotions, on a feeling that I cannot recognise. And to stay in touch with these emotions that let themselves be approached and discovered, and then dissolved. In order for my body to trust this feeling, several sessions were necessary, during which Ilaria's presence was fundamental. She guides, she invites, she welcomes, but above all she is a witness; this made me feel safe, aware that someone is at my side in supporting whatever uncomfortable feelings may emerge.

Together with Ilaria and Movement Medicine, I discovered a tool with which to express myself, outwards and inwards. A language made of movement, at times imperceptible and at others so wide that it occupies all available space. Every experience so far has given me the opportunity to transform emotions, thoughts and feelings into a dance, harmonious in its imperfection. To share my energy with other dancers, in a safe and conscious place. Thus creating a way of communicating that is genuine, loving and present. Thank you very much, dear Ilaria, for your talent and your ability to accompany others on a path of transformation!

Movement Medicine is the revelation of our essence. I feel the body responding through music and its frequencies. Music and sound are medicine, and the movement of the body makes them flow, interacting with our essence and bringing understanding.
